Sydney's Dance Recital

So, yesterday was Sydney's birthday and she had her end of the year dance recital. I was worried that she wouldn't dance because at her Christmas performance she freaked out. Her Christmas performance was in class. They just invited all the parents to come watch. She danced the first song and didn't dance the rest. She messed up and got embarrassed. It was kind of sad. So, I thought last night could be a repeat. It wasn't. She did so well and she was definitely the cutest one up on stage. Before it all started her teacher had her and another girl come out so we could sing Happy Birthday to them. The other girl's brother came out playing the bag pipes as an embarrassing birthday surprise for her. Sydney didn't know what to think. Later I asked her what she thought of it. All she said was, "He was wearing a skirt!"

After the recital we came back and had cake and ice cream. Sydney wanted a flip flop cake that we saw in a magazine. Mine didn't turn out quite like the picture, but she thought it was cool and that's what matters.
